Chapter 300: The Nine Grave Palace
At night, Ye Kui and Jiang Zhijin also returned to the attic of Xuanyu Plain from the extraterritorial space.
Now the monks who came to Xuanyu Plain to participate in the Tianque Ten Thousand Souls Fighting Law Conference have become accustomed to the assassination incident that happened here, plus from the day before yesterday to today, the target of that murderer has gradually changed from uncertain to the monks of the Nine Xuanmen.
The house where Ye Kui was.
"Zhi Jin, no matter what you say now, it seems that the murderer has targeted the monks of the Nine Xuanmen, and the monks of the other immortal sects and sects are also much safer."
Ye Kui felt that one of his previous thoughts might be right, and that murderer should have something to do with Jiuxuanmen.
"Ye Kui, Jiuxuanmen is not doing well on its own, it took five or six days to track down a guy hiding in the Xuanyu Plain, but there is still no obvious progress, which leads to the murderer still wantonly attacking the monks in the Xuanyu Plain.
However, now that only the Nine Xuanmen monks are the victims, I don't believe that the Nine Xuanmen can continue to search so leisurely, unless the Nine Xuanmen don't care about their Nine Xuanmen disciples at all, but care about whether this Tianque Ten Thousand Souls Fighting Law Conference can be successfully concluded."
Jiang Zhijin already had some resistance to Jiuxuanmen, especially after the murderer assassinated the monk in Xuanyu Plain for the first time and the second time, Jiang Zhijin's approach and attitude made Jiang Zhijin really want to curse.
"The various practices of the Nine Xuanmen now are indeed not what a large Immortal Sect should have, if the situation continues to develop like this, the Nine Xuanmen may have to stop other actions because of an inconspicuous small wound that rots.
After all, since that murderer can kill so many monks in one day, his strength must be very strong, but he hides it well on weekdays, so he is not discovered.
Otherwise, Jiuxuanmen only needs to simply check the internal situation, then determine the scope, and finally ask and follow one by one to determine who the murderer is."
Now Ye Kui is even more convinced that the murderer is a monk of the Nine Xuanmen, or a monk of the Nine Xuanmen, and that monk is very familiar with the layout of this Xuanyu Plain, otherwise it is impossible to secretly retreat and hide after killing other monks.
"Ye Kui, now I would like to know if the Nine Xuanmen will catch the murderer after the end of this Tianque Ten Thousand Souls Fighting Law Conference or if it will catch the murderer before the end of the Tianque Ten Thousand Souls Fighting Law Conference, but if you think about it carefully, even if the Nine Xuanmen catches that murderer, it will be too late, after all, so many monks have been..."
Jiang Zhijin felt that since that murderer killed the first monk in the Xuanyu Plain, Jiuxuanmen should have caught the murderer before that murderer made a move on the second target, instead of delaying it until now.
"Zhi Jin, isn't that Ling Renting's matter similar?"
Ye Kui suddenly thought of Jiang Zhijin's former fellow senior brother Ling Renting, after all, Jiuxuanmen and Qianxiguan were both large immortal gates, and these two large immortal sects seemed to be looking for their respective targets, but they were busy for a long time and did not get back their targets.
"Ye Kui, this is different, the Nine Xuanmen only needs to find the murderer in this small area of the Xuanyu Plain, while our Qianxi Sect needs to follow Senior Brother Ling in the entire southern part of the Tianque Continent, and Senior Brother Ling doesn't... For the time being, no other monks have been killed for no reason."
Jiang Zhijin didn't agree with Ye Kui's comparison of Ling Renting with the murderer, so Jiang Zhijin immediately refuted Ye Kui.
"Zhi Jin, you yourself said that you haven't for the time being, maybe you have to add the word 'maybe' in front of it, besides, how can you be sure that Ling Renting, who you haven't seen for a long time, will still abide by the rules of the righteous path monk?"
"Ye Kui, I... I think Senior Brother Ling, he... Heβ"
"I really don't know much about Ling Renting's affairs, but I also talked to Ling Renting at that time, and he might do something that only evil cultivators would do in order to investigate certain things.
Zhi Jin, you know more insiders than me, and you also know Ling Renting's character, if Ling Renting really does something like the killer in the Xuanyu Plain in the future, then what will you do?"
Ye Kui felt that there was only a layer of paper gap between Ling Renting and the murderer in the Xuanyu Plain, as long as Ling Renting crossed the line and did what an evil cultivator would do, then he would be there
When Jiang Zhijin would hesitate to kill Ling Renting, once Ye Kui met Ling Renting, he would directly kill the other party, unless the reason given by Ling Renting was enough to convince Ye Kui.
"If that day really happens, I won't be merciful, even if I know Senior Brother Ling's reasons."
When Jiang Zhijin said this, Jiang Zhijin couldn't help but think, could it be that the reason why Jiuxuanmen didn't catch the murderer was because of the murderer's special identity or did the murderer have paid anything for Jiuxuanmen?
After that, Ye Kui and Jiang Zhijin chatted until late at night, and when Ye Kui was the only one left in the house again, Ye Kui was ready to walk out of the attic again.
After a few incense sticks, Ye Kui stepped on the snow and came to the area where the flying magic boats of various immortal sects and sects stopped, and at the beginning, Ye Kui found some abnormalities here, and then the murder in the Xuanyu Plain began.
"Maybe the murderer had already started to act, but the murderer didn't put the body of the killed monk out, so I and the monks in the Xuanyu Plain didn't notice."
While Ye Kui was thinking about this, he also walked to the deck of one of the dozens of flying magic boats.
Now these flying magic boats are not covered with thick blood, after all, there is already a semicircular giant curtain that is enough to cover all the flying magic boats, which the Nine Xuanmen ordered the other Nine Xuanmen monks to arrange after all the flying magic boats have arrived here.
First, it is to shield the flying magic boats of various immortal sects, sects, and demon cultivators from the rain and snow, and the second is to prevent a monk from secretly driving a certain flying magic boat out of here.
"Maybe I should have stopped that monk right away that day and seen if he really stole from these flying magic boats, and it's also worth noting that the Xianmen where the first monk to be killed by that murderer was located doesn't seem to have been asking Jiuxuanmen for an explanation in front of the other monks.
This gives the impression that the immortal sect has accepted the death of that monk, as if the monk deserved to die."
Ye Kui recalled what had happened at that time, and at the same time walked to a certain place on the deck of the Flying Law Boat and sat down.
"Jiuxuanmen, the murderer, the murdered monk, the Tianque Ten Thousand Souls Fighting Law Conference, I almost forgot the last demon cultivation team, if something is combined, is it related?"
Although Ye Kui tried to put these things together, Ye Kui found that what happened in the Xuanyu Plain could not only have some impact on this Tianque Ten Thousand Souls Fighting Law Conference, but also damage the prestige of the Nine Xuanmen.
"That's the most serious thing, it's impossible to hurt the vitality of the Nine Xuanmen, could it be that the murderer just forced the Tianque Ten Thousand Spirits Fighting Method to stop this time?"
Ye Kui has always had a strange idea about the murderer, that is, the murderer's style of doing things is somewhat familiar, or very annoying, as if Ye Kui has also suffered a similar lesson, but Ye Kui just can't remember what he experienced is similar to what the murderer did.
It's a pity that Ye Kui didn't expect that the guy who planned this matter at the beginning should still be in Fan Xiang Valley, which is thousands of miles away, and Ye Kui is quite familiar with that guy, and Ye Kui has also taught that guy a lesson.
Fan Xiang Valley.
Now Fan Xiang Valley has been surrounded and searched by nearly a thousand Nine Xuanmen monks, who had just come here before a stick of incense.
"Did you find anyone?"
"The bodies were found, they were the brothers who came to Fan Xiang Valley in advance, and they all died on the shore of a lake in Fan Xiang Valley."
"Put away their corpses, and then bring them back to the Nine Xuanmen Sect together."
"Yes, brother."
After a certain Nine Xuanmen monk finished speaking, he immediately walked away from the other Nine Xuanmen monk.
And the Nine Xuanmen monk who was standing alone in front of a certain cave in Fan Xiang Valley thought about it with a calm face.
Originally, after listening to the instructions of the Great Elder of the Nine Xuanmen, this Nine Xuanmen monk led nearly a thousand Nine Xuanmen monks to rush towards this place called Fan Xiang Valley.
When this Nine Xuanmen monk arrived here with other Nine Xuanmen monks, he immediately blocked Fan Xiang Valley, and then began
searched.
"The person sent by the Great Elder to Fan Xiang Valley in advance has been killed, that guy may have left Fan Xiang Valley one step earlier, maybe I should immediately take the other senior brothers and sisters to separate and focus on Fan Xiang Valley and scatter the search, instead of searching from the outside to the inside like now."
This Nine Xuanmen monk quickly made a new decision, but before that, he still had to tell the Great Elder what happened here through the Sound Transmission Jade Pendant, in case the Great Elder thought of what happened after him in advance, then it might be bad for him to do so.
As for the Tree Demon Mu Xun, who was being searched by these Nine Xuanmen monks, he and the Qilin Demon Cultivator Xing Yu acted separately.
When Mu Xun finished to Xing Yu that those monks might come to Mu Xun instead of Xing Yu, Xing Yu just said, "That's it", and then Xing Yu flew directly in other directions at full speed.
After all, Xing Yu's primary purpose now was to return safely from the southern part of the Tianque Continent to the northern part of the Tianque Continent, and he didn't want to be caught by the monk again because of Mu Xun's matter.
When Mu Xun saw Xing Yu leave without hesitation, Mu Xun didn't feel cold, it's one thing to make money in buying and selling, and it's another thing to have a good relationship.
Anyway, Mu Xun thinks that the relationship between himself and the unicorn is the same as the relationship between the poor shopkeeper in the mortal world and the son-in-law in the rich gentry's family, mainly because the two sides will only say a few words to each other when they can use each other.
Otherwise, Mu Xun would definitely pit Xing Yu like Pit Ye Kui, and it was a big pit, and to put it more seriously, he would directly tell some immortal sects or evil cultivators about Xing Yu's affairs, and then Xing Yu would definitely not be able to escape for long.
In fact, no one knows what Mu Xun has been doing "trading" for, and Mu Xun's business is getting bigger and bigger, more and more than the ability of an ordinary demon cultivator.
It can be said that Mu Xun is like the most inconspicuous branch on the snowy mountain, and it is also the kind that is broken, but the strength of this branch is that he knows how to pry other equally inconspicuous or conspicuous things with the least effort.
Then it caused an avalanche that was enough to bury everything, and finally Mu Xun quietly hid again, so that most of the bad things would not be related to Mu Xun.
Unless... Unless the other party is very good and can detect some outlines of Mu Xun's layout, or the other party says that it is very strong, he can ignore the obstacles and pull out those shallow ropes buried by Mu Xun, or the other party is very lucky and can inadvertently encounter the loopholes in Mu Xun's carefully prepared plan.
Otherwise, Mu Xun would have stayed safely in Fan Xiang Valley to continue his various plans, as well as find collaborators to do all kinds of business.
"Now maybe I can go to the places where Ling Renting no longer lives for a while, and when those Nine Xuanmen monks leave, I will show up and find a new place to live.
After Xing Yu and I left Fan Xiang Valley, we had already used a special method to forcibly clean up most of the demonic qi left by the two of us in Fan Xiang Valley, unless those Nine Xuanmen monks who came to Fan Xiang Valley were also demon cultivators, otherwise the other party would definitely not be aware of the remaining demonic qi on the shore.
It's a pity that every time I use this method, I have to consume a lot of rare pills, but these pills are enough for me to use three times, and I have already used them for the second time, which is a little distressing."
After sighing for a while, Mu Xun also began to fly forward, he, like Xing Yu, didn't want to be caught, in case he was caught by the large immortal gate, then some of the things in Mu Xun's wooden head would really be seen clearly by the old monsters in the large immortal gate.
Mu Xun knew that that would be the end of the game, and he was bound to be killed on the spot.
Fan Xiang Valley.
"Great Elder, this is the thing, the Nine Xuanmen disciples you sent here to Fan Xiang Valley in advance have all been killed by the other party, and the other party has already left Fan Xiang Valley, we are late, please ask the Great Elder to punish us."
The leader of the Nine Xuanmen monks said to the Great Elder of the Nine Xuanmen located in the Xuanyu Plain through the sound transmission jade pendant.
"It's good for you to stay in Fan Xiang Valley after you have searched Fan Xiang Valley, unless I personally let you leave, you will stay there, because the guy you want to capture may return there."
The voice of the Great Elder of the Nine Xuanmen came from the Transmission Jade Perry.
"Great Elder, if that guy never comes back after escaping from Fan Xiang Valley, wouldn't that be..."
The leader of the Nine Xuanmen monks wanted to say that he and the other senior brothers could do other things, instead of continuing to stay here, after all, ordinary monks would definitely not return to the danger area when they encountered this kind of thing.
"You don't have to ask about other things, try to hide well when you are guarding Fan Xiang Valley, whether it is a monk or a demon cultivator, you must avoid being discovered by them, and I will tell you the rest later."
"Yes, Grand Elder."
After hearing the order from the sound transmission jade pendant, the leader of the Nine Xuanmen monks had no choice but to say this, who called the other party the Great Elder, and this Great Elder was still the kind of guy who could confront the current master of the Nine Xuanmen in person.
After the leader of the Nine Xuanmen monks put away the sound transmission jade pendant, he flew towards the shore that the other Nine Xuanmen monks had said, and he wanted to quietly mention what kind of traces would be left by the battle between the Nine Xuanmen monks who came here and a certain guy.
When the Nine Xuanmen monks came to the shore of a certain lake, he saw that there were many corpses that had just been dug up from under the cold snow by other Nine Xuanmen monks, and there should have been the corpses of the Nine Xuanmen monks who had been fished out from under the cold and biting surface of the lake.
"How did they die?"
However, the corpses of those Nine Xuanmen monks were covered with white cloths, and the leader of the Nine Xuanmen monks hesitated for a moment before directly asking a certain Nine Xuanmen monk who was in charge of looking at those corpses.
"Senior brother, I don't know very well, they have broken into... Alas, senior brother, you should see for yourself."
After answering the leader of the Nine Xuanmen monks, the monk of the Nine Xuanmen squatted down, and then opened the white cloth on the corpse first.
Then the leader of the monks of the Nine Xuanmen saw the two broken corpses of the monks of the Nine Xuanmen.
"Is that all that?"
The leader of the Nine Xuanmen monks frowned and asked the Nine Xuanmen monks beside him.
"Senior brother, this is something we have been looking for for a while from the snow and under the lake over there, some... The bodies of some of the brothers and sisters have not yet been found."
"I see."
After hearing the answer of his fellow disciples, the leader of the Nine Xuanmen monks had no intention of continuing to look at it, so the leader of the Nine Xuanmen monks turned around and walked towards the lake not far away.
Just now, after the Nine Xuanmen monks lifted the white cloth, the leader of the Nine Xuanmen monks saw two corpses that looked like broken watermelons and broken lotus roots placed together through the gaps.
The reason for this is because these Nine Xuanmen monks were directly killed by their opponents with extremely violent means, and the opponents may be extremely strong monks such as martial artists, or demon cultivators.
"Is that guy angry with those Nine Xuanmen disciples just now? The methods were so cruel, and the frightened expression on his face seemed to be frozen, who was the guy they met? Why are you so panicked?"
The Nine Xuanmen monks were very puzzled, even if the other party was very strong, it shouldn't be like this, unless... Unless the other party still did something in front of those Nine Xuanmen monks, otherwise it would definitely not be like this.
But even the leader of the Nine Xuanmen monks still couldn't figure out what was going on.
Xuanyu Plain.
"I haven't found any clues here now, so it's time to take a look elsewhere."
Ye Kui left the area after checking the place where the flying magic boat was parked.
Now Ye Kui planned to go to five of the six places that he had noticed before that had emitted black smoke, Ye Kui had already been to one place before, but it was precisely because Ye Kui arrived at the ruins of the scorched hall that the magic circle was triggered, and then he was caught by the monks of the Nine Xuanmen who rushed to the scene.
"I remember there's one at the far end here."
After determining the direction, Ye Kui walked towards a certain place.
After a while, Ye Kui came to a place that also had the ruins of a charred black hall, and it was also empty.
If it weren't for the soft moonlight tonight, then this place would definitely look a lot more gloomy than the ruins of another charred black hall that Ye Kui had gone to before.
After the last experience, Ye Kui didn't
You immediately walked into the ruins of the blackened hall in front of him, but walked around the ruins of the blackened hall.
"There's no magic circle here, so you can go in and walk around at will."
After making sure that there were no other magic circles in the ruins of the blackened hall, Ye Kui cautiously walked in.
After Ye Kui walked some distance, he found that he had stepped on something, and he also made a subtle "click" sound.
Jiang Zhijin immediately took a few steps back, and then looked at the place where he stepped on the sound.
There was a small square plank that had been burned so much that only a small half was left, but that piece had been trampled into several pieces by Ye Kui.
"Shouldn't it be anything important, or... It's good to pick it up and take a look."
When Ye Kui was about to ignore the blackened pieces of wood directly, Ye Kui found that there seemed to be some remnants of handwriting on those blackened pieces that had not been burned by the fire.
So Ye Kui chose to pick up all the charred wooden blocks.
"'Nine Xuanmen', 'Huan', and 'Divine Position', only these six words can barely be seen clearly, and the other words can only see less than half of the analogy, but if you deduce the shape of the entire wooden block according to the shape of the parts of these charred black pieces, it seems that only the tablet used to commemorate the deceased can match."
Ye Kui neatly placed those charred pieces in a relatively flat place on the ground, and then thought of these according to the words he saw and the shapes that those charred black casually put together.
"Could it be that this hall was originally used to place some of the tablets of the dead monks of the Nine Xuanmen? In that case, it shouldn't be guarded so casually."
While Ye Kui thought about the other reasons for the fire here, he also continued to walk towards the other areas of the ruins of the Scorched Black Hall.
It took Ye Kui nearly half an hour to carefully walk through the ruins of this charred black hall, but Ye Kui did not see similar remnants of tablets in other areas of the ruins of this charred hall.
"The other tablets seem to have been burned by the fire, or maybe they were just buried under the other collapsed pillars of the wall, so I didn't see them."
In the end, Ye Kui had also returned to the place where he had found the charred fragments before, and there were still charred fragments that Ye Kui had placed there on the relatively flat ground on the side.
"There doesn't seem to be much worth seeing here, except for the charred shards, or the remnants of the tablet."
Ye Kui left this place after making sure that all the places to visit in the ruins of this charred black hall were visited, and there was nothing worth seeing.
Now Ye Kui plans to continue to the remaining four places, where he may be able to find other more useful clues or items.
Ye Kui continued to turn around for a long distance and finally came to the third scorched black hall ruins, but this place is more complete than the first two scorched black hall ruins, at least you can see most of the plaques and a small part of the beams.
"The Nine Grave Palace, the ruins of this charred hall were originally called the Nine Grave Palace? This name sounds quite in line with the Nine Xuanmen, "moment" is a predetermined thing, and "Xuan" is wonderful, I don't know if that's the case."
After Ye Kui was sure that there was no magic circle here, Ye Kui walked into it while trying to understand the relationship between the ruins of this charred hall and the Nine Xuanmen.
